Stubborn

Verse 1 I was stubborn, missin’ signs Red flags I called green Prayin’ for what felt good Not what was meant for me Every door I pushed closed I kicked a little harder Didn’t know protection sometimes Looks like letting go, smarter I wore my pride like armor Fought every gentle hint Ignored the quiet whispers That said “you’re heading the wrong way, kid” God’s signs in the small things I kept on dismissing Until the lessons got louder And I couldn’t keep resisting Pre-Chorus Every detour, every no Every moment I misunderstood Was a hand steadying me Guiding where I should Chorus God redirected my steps When I wouldn’t listen Every closed door had a reason Every no was mercy in it I was blind till hindsight Cleared my vision Yeah, I was stubborn Missed the signs, missed the signs Verse 2 I kept chasing my own plans Ignoring the signs around Thought I knew the answers But they were only sounds Of wisdom tryin’ to speak In ways I wouldn’t hear Until I learned patience And learned to persevere The path that felt like loss Was leading to a win Every misstep that I took Taught me how to begin And now the signs I ignored I recognize with grace Sometimes the hardest lessons Are the ones that save your place Pre-Chorus Every “wait” and “not yet” Every step that felt confined Was just a little nudge To redirect my mind Chorus God redirected my steps When I wouldn’t listen Every closed door had a reason Every no was mercy in it I was blind till hindsight Cleared my vision Yeah, I was stubborn Missed the signs, missed the signs Bridge (Soft / Emotional) Sometimes love shows you slowly In whispers you can’t ignore Sometimes the universe Closes one door to open more Every stubborn turn I took Led me to the right side Every sign I almost missed Guided me like light Final Chorus (Lift / Emotional) God redirected my steps When I wouldn’t listen Every closed door had a reason Every no was mercy in it I was blind till hindsight Cleared my vision Yeah, I was stubborn But I see the signs now I see the signs now
